Broncos nickleback Domonique Foxworth was told this morning that the Broncos were about to trade him. Foxworth did not attend practice today.

“I wish the Broncos and Mike Shanahan and Pat Bowlen well,” Foxworth said. “I appreciate the time they gave me here. But if they feel it’s time for me to move on, then I have to move on. I’m fine with it.”

Foxworth had been a part-time starter and nickleback each of his first three seasons with the Broncos. However, he had a particularly tough pre-season game Friday against Arizona.

Meanwhile, rookie Jack Williams had two interceptions during the pre-season.

Karl Paymah will now be the nickleback, with Williams moving up to dimeback.
